Somehow in the programming community at some point in the past there was someone or a group of developers who was using improper variable and function and class names at some point in the past with the identifiers foo and bar. Probably for the purpose of an example or something like that. We do not know the origin of that. These are stupid idiotic names.

And then you have, this trend continuing. Programmers then following and honor this kind of nonsense, idiocy and stupidity. This is just simply plain dumb.

And it actually signals, to us, someone who is not confident. And feels they have to associate themselves with what they think is right. It is nothing more than plain stupidity.


Here is such an example:

Why this stupidity continues is not known to us.

And furthermore, Sierra Chart, has a requirement that lamda functions are not used. These make no sense. Functions should only follow a standard syntax.
